*  Match located, drilled, and c-bored elevator hinge holes on horizontal stabs

*  Located, drilled, and riveted hinges to elevators. (got 2 backwards so had to drill out rivet and redo).

*  FYI - elevator face has aluminum plate bonded to the inside to secure rivets.

*  Had help from Jeff Scott for the first half hour and Lloyd & Thomas for the last hour.

*  6 1/2hrs

*** Looking back on this process it would be better to reverse the order and do it all on the bench. Locate and rivet the hinges to the elevators first then position the elevators on the stabs and match drill.
